Connecting the FortiGate-5053B power supply shelf to ground
The FortiGate-5053B and LC power supply shelves both include ground terminals on the
center of the back panel (see
). The ground terminal provides two
connectors to be used with a double-holed lug such as Thomas & Betts PN 256-30695-
1225. This connector must be connected to ground.
You need the following equipment to connect the FortiGate-5053B unit to ground:
•
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap with connection cord.
•
One green AWG-6 stranded wire with listed closed loop double-hole lug with
insulating boot suitable for minimum AWG-6 copper wire, such as Thomas & Betts PN
256-30695-1225.

To connect the FortiGate-5053B power supply shelf to ground
1
Attach the ESD wrist strap to your wrist and to an ESD socket or to a bare metal
surface on the chassis or frame.
2
Make sure that the shelf and ground wire are not energized.
3
Connect the green ground wire from the location’s ground terminal to the ground
connector on the power supply shelf (see
4
Secure the ground wire as required.
5
Optionally label the wire GND.
Turning on FortiGate-5140B chassis power
If you are using a power supply shelf, connect the power supply shelf to AC power and
verify that it is operating correctly.
If you are using local DC power, turn on the power to the chassis according to the
requirements of your local DC power system.
Once the FortiGate-5140B chassis is connected to DC power the chassis powers up. If
the chassis is operating correctly, the LEDs on the connected PEM(s) and fans should be
lit. As well, the LEDs on the FortiGate-5140B shelf manager and shelf alarm modules
should be lit (see
).
When the chassis first starts up you should also hear the cooling fans operating.
In addition, if any FortiGate-5000 series boards have been installed in the chassis they
should power on and their front panel LEDs should indicate that they are starting up and
operating normally.
